Why You Should Invest in a Good Nursing Bra

Confession: I never bought a decent nursing bra with my last two babies. My reasoning was why spend money on something that will just get ruined? But here’s the truth of the matter. They stretched out, became misshapen, and weren’t comfortable in the slightest bit! In fact, they didn’t even fit right. And breastfeeding boobs in a bad bra aren’t doing anything for your posture, know what I mean? I vowed to be different this time around, and INVEST in really good nursing bras that will last the duration of our breastfeeding journey. Today I’m sharing Why You Should Invest in a Good Nursing Bra to encourage you to gift yourself the “gift of lift!”

Why You Should Invest in a Good Nursing Bra

They provide proper support. Milk boobs (really, all boobs!) come in all shapes and sizes, right? Many times one is larger than the other, and they’re always changing sizes depending on how “full” you are at that moment. As a result, we need proper support to keep the girls intact! Plus proper support means a better posture, which will prevent that awful back pain you might experience (especially the larger ladies!).

They will last a long time. Like I said before, my old nursing bras are in such bad shape I had to throw them away. Which shouldn’t surprise me seeing as they were less than $20 – classic case of “you get what you pay for.” Investing in nursing bras made from high quality material will actually last much longer than cheaply made bras, and prevent you from having to buy new ones in the long run.

They provide a good foundation under your clothes. It’s true – a good, supportive, PROPERLY FITTING bra will make your clothes look better. We often have misconceptions on how bras should fit, so using a Fit Guide like this one by Le Mystere is really important to ensure you buy your right size! No one wants spillage over cups or the sides of the bra! Your clothes will look better, and you’ll feel better too!

Le Mystere has a wide variety of beautiful bras, including maternity and nursing bras! I really like their Mama Mia Nursing Bra which provides the right amount of coverage, while also leaving a subtle amount of room for nursing pads. It also makes for a great gift if you know any mamas to be!

We typically DON’T treat ourselves to fancy nursing bras (as I just stated I did with #1 and #2!), so its always the perfect gift…the “gift of lift!” If you aren’t nursing, that’s okay..Le Mystere has a LARGE variety of bras for all women, including Push-Up, Plunge, Front Closure, the Infinite T-shirt Bra (my fave, and also shown here!), and even strapless options. So if you’re in need of some new bras, put Le Mystere on your Christmas list! You deserve it!

Le Mystere has also been kind of to giveaway ONE bra of choice to a lucky reader! Enter via the Rafflecopter below, and good luck!

I would love to win a good nursing bra! Baby girl gets here MONDAY!! I always miss out on instagram giveaways because I don’t like to make my profile public! Love you and your blog Lauren! You are easily one of the best and most relatable bloggers!

The Mama Mia bra sounds soooo nice. I’m due any day with #3 and did the same thing you did with my last two – cheap Target bras. I packed them in my hospital bag yesterday and cringed. 😣 I definitely need to invest in better ones ASAP!

I have two nursing bras that I have just went and bought while I was pregnant. Of course they don’t flatter me at all. I would love to try a new, good quality nursing bra. Thanks for the chance to win one!

Thank you for sharing! I’ve never heard of this company but am excited to check them out. With my first baby, I only nursed for 5 months and wished I could’ve gone longer. I think one reason it was so difficult for me was the lack of proper nursing items including a great nursing bra. This time around I am definitely going to invest in a nice nursing bra!

Totally relate to the need of a good nursing bra. Baby #2 is just one week.old today and trying to use my previous “cheap & not so cheerful” bras from my first is just not working. I would love a Mama Mia bra.

I’m excited for this post because I’m currently pregnant with baby #1 and am JUST starting research on a good nursing bra. Like you, I was just thinking of getting something cheap – but I think it makes sense to invest in a solid staple. Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree with you on this one. All the nursing bras I have purchased have been cheap and nothing but crap! It’s time I get a good one with great support and I prefer one without wires. I checked their website out and didn’t see a nursing one without wires. Is the one you’re wearing wireless?

I’m not sure which bra i could chose yet but definitely a nursing bra. I have a newborn now and more than ever understand the need for a good nursing bra. So important to be comfortable, convenient, and feel good about yourself right after birth. I would love to win!

what a great giveaway! I would LOVE to win but I’m so thankful for all of your pregnancy/ new mom tips! I am pregnant with my first now and following along with you has been so fun. 🙂 So thankful you can be completely honest & informative in your most recent live about what to expect during childbirth and after

I would choose the classic T shirt bra! I did not take care of the girls through pregnancy, nursing, or postpartum with Gracie. I went with cheap. Honestly, I am still wearing the nursing bras that do not fit right and she is 18 months! So, thanks for this post! I am totally learning quality over quantity.

I would choose a nursing bra. I too have bought many target nursing bras and they don’t fit well but it’s going to get covered in milk so whatever. I would like to see how a good nursing bra can change my life!!!! We deserve a good nursing bra!!!

I would choose the nursing bra because like you, I also went to target to buy a cheap one and the other day the underwire popped out and was stuck in between my boobs, which was SUPER uncomfortable but it was stuck like that all day bc I was out running errands and there wasn’t anything I could do about it until I made it home.

I definitely need to get some good nursing bras this time around. I’ve gotten mine from Macy’s, like the soft ones with no wire and I stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago and still wear them every night to bed lol. But the pads are so worn I definitely need new ones!

This is great! I am also guilty of not investing in a good nursing bra my last pregnancy! I am due in March and would love to be able to win a great nursing bra to start things out. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I just had baby #2 last week and completely agree about investing in a good nursing bra! I’m busty and could never find an inexpensive one that was flattering…and nothing can ruin a cute outfit worse than boobs that look like giant saggy melons.🙈 I can’t wait to try their styles!

I would love to win a good nursing bra! I also always go for target or motherhood brands and they end up in the garbage! This is the third baby I’ll be nursing nursing nursing away sooo I deserve a good one right!?! Hahah Love following you Lauren! You’re the best!!!!

As someone who never buys nice bras (and always seems to regret it later), I’d love to win this! I’m expecting my first baby mid-February and I’m starting to research good quality nursing bras to support (and lift) the girls up! Anyone else out there need some extra lift?! 😬 If I won I’d definitely choose a nursing bra.

I just had baby #2 and could definitely use a new nursing bra. I have also always bought the cheap ones and you’re right they definitely don’t last. Love reading your blog and watching your Instagram stories!!

first baby coming soon! Loving all of the advice on how to get ready for baby including nursing bra recommendations. Do you have separate nursing and pumping bra recommendations? or do you use an all in one?

Hey lauren!! I would LOVE a chance to a nice bra for nursing:) I am due with my first here in March and have no clue what to get or expect, so would be supper helpful! Love your blog and follow you on snap all the time!! Hope you got all the mice;) xoxo

The Mama Mia bra sounds perfect! I too did not invest in a quality nursing bra with my first and I really regret it. I would love to have a nice bra like this for baby boy #2 that’s coming in February:)

I’m just like you with the nursing bras! I bought such crappy ones for my first baby and now they are pretty much useless for baby number 2! I’ve been wearing a nursing tank but will definitely need something with more support when I head back to work and I would love to win one of the momma Mia!
I’m so glad you got good news on baby this week and I hope your little 🐭 problem goes away soon!

I’m having my first baby in 6 weeks-ish and originally thought the same thing … why spend money on nursing bras? After reading your post I’m looking forward to doing some further research on nursing bras/clothes. This nursing bra would be a great start to some necessities I will be purchasing. Thank you for your insight!

Such an awesome giveaway! My son is due on March 10th. He is my second baby and he and my daughter will be 15 months apart (pray for me!). My nursing bras are trashed and gross…excited to look at these beautiful options!
I have a blast following you and getting to take a peak into your everyday life. You crack me up. Keep the dance parties coming!

Number 2 coming early February! Definitely looking to invest into some essential pieces.. soooo true: you get what you pay for! So many of my nursing items from my first born can’t be used again!! Thanks for the post :)) and yaaaaa for the rest of your pregnancy being as normal as possible!!

This giveaway is coming at a perfect time. My daughters two weeks old and I’m engorged and soaking through regular sports bras because they were stretchy enough to fit my newly heavy, milk-filled breasts. The T-shirt bra looks like a dream!

I am on my second child and still have not been able to enjoy a nice nursing bra.. can’t even tell you what it would feel like. I am pumped to have this opportunity at a chance though! No pun intended.. Thanks Lauren for all you do!

With my daughter I only had two nursing bras the entire time and both were horrible. Now with my baby boy, I have already started slowly investing in better quality nursing bras. I would definitely love to try out the Mama Mia nursing bra if I was the winner!

I’m pregnant right now with number 2 and would love to invest in a good bra this time around! With everything our bodies go through, we definitely deserve it!! I would choose the nursing bra! Thank you for all your motherhood and pregnancy tips Lauren!

I would love a quality nursing bra! I am pregnant with baby #3 (our third daughter, yes, 3 girls) and due in March. My last nursing bras were flimsy and thin and didn’t fully cover my crazy nursing boobs. 😂

I love that these look to add shape vs the sleep nursing bras I wore with my first two! Due with Baby #3 February 2nd and would love to win one of these beautiful nursing bras. Would make a huge difference in postpartum self confidence and make my husband say oooo la la!

I am pregnant with baby #2! I never invested in a nursing bra for the same reason,”they will get ruined” but my boobs always looks weird because of the cheap bra lol I am also like you in the size department….before and after breastfeeding haha!

Baby due any day now! Nursing has never been easy for me and I’ve never had a nice nursing bra (they all look so grandma-like and don’t do ANYTHING for someone’s figure, uck!) I’d love to win one but may buy one if I don’t 😘

Wow, these bras are gorgeous!! We are due with a baby girl in March, and I did the same thing as you with my 1st: I wore Target low cost nursing bras and really didn’t love how they looked under clothes! Thanks for the reality check and reminder that it’s OK for us to treat ourselves!! 🙂

I am nursing an almost 8 month old (I don’t know how that happened so fast.) I have yet to purchase a really good nursing bra. Lately I have noticed that I don’t feel comfortable in my clothes and I think it is due to not wearing a good bra. I would love the Le Mystère Mama Mia Maternity Nursing Bra. I need a full coverage bra because the girls have definitely enlarged since nursing.

I would Choose the t-shirt bra. I have the mama Mia and the sexy mama and I LOVE them both! Le Mysterre has the best nursing bras! I have tried so many different brands and nothing compares to Le Mysterre 🙂

First off I absolutely love watching your inta live posts! I am pregnant with my first and have been struggling with weather or not to buy a nursing bra, so I would love the opportunity to try one from this company. Thanks for all the helpful tips!!!

So excited about this giveaway- I’m prego for the first time and have never even heard of good nursing bras! Just thought there were those sportsbra looking ones! Thanks for the insight and for the giveaway Lauren- always look forward to your insta and blog posts!

I’m totally in the same boat with not having a good nursing bra. I actually even am using hand me downs from my sister-in-law. 😂🙈 It’s so unfortunate. So I would definitely get a nursing bra if I won the giveaway!

I’m due July 22nd with our first baby , so this would be wonderful to win a nursing bra. I’m all about good supoort and good bras during non-pregnancy, so I’m sure I will be while nursing too! Thanks for the opportunity.

I’d choose the mama Mia nursing bra. I’m pregnant with our third, but after our second I tossed all the horrible, cheap nursing bras and tanks so I’m back at square one. This post has been so helpful! Thanks Lauren!

I’m pregnant with number two and with my first child my bras were so uncomfortable and added so much extra discomfort to my sore chest. It was an added challenge to an already difficult nursing relationship. Hands down would get a nursing bra that fits my needs this time around!

I am not currently nursing so I think I would choose the Infinite T-Shirt Bra if I were to win!! I don’t have any super nice bras (I usually go to the under $20 Target ones too! 🙈) so it would be great to try a nice one for once! Especially after nursing twins and a singleton I need all the help I can get in that area if you know what I mean – Ha! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity! 😊

I just found I’m pregnant with my first (6 weeks along) and my boobs have been SO sore that none of my bras are comfortable anymore. I would love to win a cozy looking bra like this and finally feel some relief! The sheer one you’re wearing is so pretty!
